A Sweet, Wild Note: What We Hear When the Birds Sing by Richard Smyth

4.0

My thoughts while listening to birds sing will never be quite the same. I've gone from "pretty song" to a flood of poetic, historic, scientific, and cultural thoughts after reading this book. All for a greater appreciation of what to some is ambient noise but to others is so much more. And the author is correct, to not hear the birds sing and call to one another would be ominous and troubling.

A good book for bird lovers and really anyone who enjoys hearing birds sing in their garden.
